Centre Of Bioethical Research & Analysis (COBRA)
about us

The Centre of Bioethical Research & Analysis (COBRA) was established by Dr. Richard Hull in 2001 within the Department of Philosophy in the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway). Dr. Heike Schmidt-Felzmann joined the centre in 2003. We have a number of students doing postgraduate research in COBRA and have collaborative links with associates both within NUI Galway and abroad.
